I seem to have a few .. OCD , wether it be what I'm wearing or indoors , everything has to be in it's correct place , my collar has to sit right , on a table I tend to straighten things up so everything conforms to a straight line .. At night before bed , I must check the gas cooker at least 5 times to ensure it's all off , check door is looked a few times , ensure dogs are in their little bed , and so on and so forth ..
When I'm at my parents' house, I really can't stand it when the oven is turned off, but the temperature dial is still set at 200 degrees, rather than zero. So I when I notice it I have to stop whatever I'm doing to go and put it in its correct position.
Also, I can't drink from a can when the little top thing isn't turned over the hole where the drink comes out. To illustrate: The thing above the hole has to be turned 180 degrees in order for it to "feel right" for me. Makes it easier to recognize my can on a full table though.
always subconsciously try to do things in the most efficient order - to make the most efficient use of time. Hence why my Mrs drives me fucking batty as she tends to do things in the most inefficient order.....
"The nightmares invading the sleep of Bayern fans involve four horsemen of the Champions League Apocalypse riding towards them. As the faces come into focus, they will recognise Frank Lampard, Cole, Petr Cech and Drogba. All were immense..."

i sometimes double check the oven is off, but you're clearly mad!
I can't touch flour on the top of bread. It goes through me in the same way I imagine scraping a blackboard does for people. That's pretty fucked up, so I'm told.
I've got to have all my clothes on the same wooden coat hangers and they have to face the same way with the indent in the right place. They have to be in order of style and colour, jackets white to black, shirts white to black, knitwear, vests, denim hung up straight. I put all the glasses and mugs in order and in size in a row, and the food cupboard has to be in order, I've got this thing for symmetry too I hate everything pushed up one corner or uneven. Time keeping which is probably what me and the mrs argue over, she's so laid back and if I want to be somewhere I am always late if were going together. I get up 5 times or more a night and check the kids while their sleeping but I don't think I'll ever get out of that.
One of my best mates who's a female has a problem with polo shirts & over sized buttons, saw her literally freak out when her fella come downstairs once in a polo with the buttons undone.
Haha at uni I developed a thing whereby I can't sleep if there is any of those little red standby lights on. I used to blue tack over the one on the telly. I also need it to be dark before I can sleep. My alarm clock gives off a blue light so I have to cover it with a t-shirt every night. My misses has got a knack of irritating me with little habits. Like opening a letter and leaving the empty envelope wherever she is. I find the fucking things all over the house, even in the car!

For me it's a dry sponge. Sends shivers down my spine.

When I was 14 I developed an ocd case where the mat at the front door had to have equal space on either side, mat equilibrium. I kicked the habit years ago, weird things like that make you wonder how technical and complicated our brains are.
